A 3-day swap, also called a triple swap, is a multiplied overnight financing adjustment applied on a designated weekday to account for relevant settlement or non-trading days.
It may result in a larger swap charge or credit than a standard overnight adjustment.
Which day does a 3-day swap apply?
The applicable day depends on the product.
- Some products apply triple swap on Wednesday or Friday.
- Do not assume that all products follow the same schedule.
- Check the selected product’s specifications for its applicable day.
